    An example of using writing to influence someone else could be as simple as trying to convince someone to show you love when you professed your love for them in writing. It could be a letter written by you in hopes of convincing someone to assist you with a task. A good example of someone working through an intellectual problem by writing might be a police detective who captures his thoughts in writing to obtain a collective view of all his thoughts to allow him to make a comprehensive decision. That could be difficult for some people depending on what their life experiences have been. In college you will complete writing assignments that will show you why you are who you are. Or at least I would hope that would be the case. For example, a student who takes a course in studies of human development will likely learn a lot about why they did or didn't learn certain things in school, why they didn't get along with siblings, why they prefer to be alone or in large groups, etc.

    writing to influence someone else - writing reviews on Amazon? you're trying to influence someone to buy or not buy a product

    personal problem - have you ever written to someone regarding your relationship, whether it be a friend, family member, or SO?
